Blind Guardian "Follow The Blind"
Alone I walk, hearing a voice
that's calling my name
no one should be here
take no one with you
god, why I didn't care
On through death take me away
to the place time will not fade
Colder than dead
darkness - eternity
but look out
A hundred thousand centuries
the sun had never seen
so near but so much too far
eternal place you know what's life
but cannot tell
I can never see you changing
but you look to me
time will never heal your wounds
but you're immortal
Ref.:
Hall of the King a vision of the end
Hall of the King don't cry for us
don't hear us calling
Oh watch out for me Hall of the light
my last sign
You find yourself
just take a look
to see you must open your eyes
like a hawk in the sky
a wonder that dies
don't ask me wy
(Lead: Andre)
You're the birth and you're the end
you've been hurt but you're not dead
discovering you is what should never be
poisoned are our souls
and dark our hearts
ruins we've left to rule the world
destructive are our minds
it's much too late
(Solo: Kai / Harmony Lead: Kai)
High in the sky where eagles fly
Morgray the dark enters the throne
Open wide the gate, friend
the king will come
blow the horn and praise
the highest Lord
who'll bring the dawn
he's the new god
in the palace of steel
persuade the fate of everyone
the chaos can begin
let it in
(Lead: Andre)
Bridge:
So many centuries
so many Gods
we were the prisoners
of our own fantasty
but now we are marching
against these Gods
I'm the wizard, I will change it all
(Lead: Andre/Marcus)
Ref.:
Valhalla - Deliverance
Why've you ever forgotten me
(Solo: Andre)
Ref.
Magic is in me
I'm the lost magic man
never found what I was looking for
now I found it but it's lost
The fortress burns
broken my heart
I leave this world
all Gods are gone
Bridge:
So many centuries
so many Gods
we were the prisoners
of our own fantasty
but then we had nothing
who'll lead our life
no, no, we can't live without Gods
Ref.

Blind Guardian "Tales From The Twilight World"
Awaiting my last breath
the mirror calls my name
it's showing me the way
into the dark
the bridge appears
I jump into the dark side
and hear the voice it's cold as ice
"Welcome to reality"
Where am I now?
Darkness surrounds
can't go forward
can't go back
Kai: I see planets dying
Hansi: I fall into the light
K: a new universe awakes
H: I'm a Traveler in Time
K: pray for the light
H: Where's the key
K: to the gate
H/K: of a new life - no
H: I search for deliverance
K: but I cannot find
(Lead: Andre)
Ref.:
Look behind the mirror
I'm lost in the twilight hall
once I'll be back for a moment in time
that's when the mirror's falling down
(Lead: Andre)
Take me away
from the place I've been
to another life
in another world
a sign of life
surrounds me now
the bridge appears in the dark
I'm free
I fly alone
leaving the darkness now, forever?
the memories of children
and the wisdom of many lifes
burns deep in me
Where will the light go to?
Where will the light go to?
Is this deliverance?
Is it the end?
Ref.
(Solo: Andre)
I'm back there's a new chance for me
and all my memories are gone
I can feel what's happening to me
and the mirrow will burst
Ref. (2x)
(Lead: Andre)
Who can tell me who I am
who I am my friend
I'm an Alien so they say
a risk to everyone
NO - Tell me what do they see
NO - Tell me what do they feel
NO - Tell me what do they fear
NO - Tell me what do they see
I'm a dwarf but I know more than You
and I'm the key to a better life
from terror I could escape
but I need your helping hand
so far from home where I'm left alone
Did you hear my crying?
Did you hear my crying?
Ref.:
Goodbye my friend
I found you at the end
I say Goodbye to all
Goodbye my friend
thanks for your helping hand
I say Goodbye to all my cries
just say Goodbye
(Lead: Andre)
No returning nevermore
No returning nevermore
(Lead: Andre)
And I'll remember
Communication to you is so strange
you I trust to noone no warmths reach your
heart
to you I'm the stranger but you're strange
to me
You destruct all what is unknown to you
We are together now
and don't you know I'll come back again
I must go now
Ref.
(Solo: Andre)
I will go home now
I will go home now
much too long I'm forced to stay
in visions I see
so dark and so deep
mankind will destruct all life
See you again I hope I will
see you again at the end?
My tortured soul cannot forget the pain
now I find my way back
I WILL GO HOME NOW
I WILL GO HOME NOW
Ref.
(Solo: Andre)

Guardian, Guardian, Guardian of the Blind
(4x)
Have you forgotten him
(Lead: Andre)
Far from the land
Where the sun is born
down in the wood "Caladon"
Do you know the place
where the light is never seen
and all the hopes are turned
by the final cry
Turned to Stone (4x)
Whispering tunes in the wind
all hopes are gone with the night
when the old man will never come back
remember his words and his songs
And we see the raven's flying in the distance
but no wizard's singing his song
Ref.:
Somebodies out in the night
I fly in time
The last candle will burn
there's hope for everyone
when the last candle burns high
oh it's time for life
(Lead: Andre)
The elves and gnoms have to hide
when the moon is showing it's face
and raging orcs will set their traps
and the forest will burn
they hate green trees
and love the dark
they don't understand
that they're caught and left alone
they feel the magic in the wind
they're just fear the old man's song
(Solo: Kai)
Ref.
Corrupted old gnom
betrayer of all
you know so much about all
what is your price?
GNOM:
"Too much, too much
you cannot pay with your silver and your
gold
there's just a little chance to save the
wizard's life
there's just a little chance for all you
fools
now pay"
(Lead: Andre)
And so I walk across the land
and hope to hear the wizard's song
Ref. (2x)
Outro:
Somebodies out there
I feel there's somebody
Somebodies out there
I feel there's somebody
Blind Guardian "Somewhere Far Beyond"
By the ruins he stands
And he's waiting for me
To enter Tanelorn
His paths seems strange
But they're always planned
Seldom he succeeds
About his own fate
He tries to conquer it
Again and again
But at last he's almost
A ruined man
Not a king or God
Who's searching for
A place called Tanelorn
Far beyond your dreams
Ref.:
On our quest for Tanelorn
We lose our way
On our quest for Tanelorn
He's waiting
He's waiting for me
He's waiting
He's waiting for me
(Spiritus sanctus - vita aeterna)
Darkness falling down on me
Darkness - The eternal battle rises
I know the answers
Although they don't exist
I'm just a mortal illusion
Ref.
(Solo)
So I'm his companion
Through space and through time
His eternal servant
He's calling me
So I must leave
To any life
To another world
Far beyond Your dreams
To know the truth
Just for a while
He's longing for a place
Where he can find himself
Deliverance
It could be everywhere
How can he find
He's waiting for me
And for Your Tanelorn
Ref.:
On our quest for Tanelorn
We lose our way
On our quest for Tanelorn
We lose our way
On our quest for Tanelorn
We lose our way
On our quest for Tanelorn
We're left alone
